Hehe, not likely. I will try and get my head around it. Feel I have to give a proper analysis before proceeding.

This is a big combined turn for the Allies and it will get worse.
US built good units of fleet and has positioned itself wisely in Pearl Harbor.
China managed to take back Yunnan, which is important, although at some cost.
UK built a mIC in Cairo, which can sometimes be a mistake. After a successful Taranto and ethipian crush, it should however be rather safe. Might be a problem of pushing away the italians from Alexandria at first, but on the otherhand it will be done in time.
Taranto is however a sacrifice for both sides. The british ships in the Med are likely toast, so both nations will be stunted. Perhaps Italy is worse off, but we’ll see for the continuance.
Italy now has a choice of activating Vichy. It will likely be done, since the short-term advantages are pretty awesome. Also, only one major naval battle can be executed, and I’d prefer to try and scuttle the fleet from z97 since it’s a nasty convoy zone. One advantage here is that the ac can’t soak a hit without leaving the fig hanging without space to land in. That’s a good retreat option if the battle doesn’t develop accordingly to the odds or better, which makes the battle even more of a good choice.
It would be great to grab Greece, but it’s a rather uncertain battle since all air is needed in z97. Might soften the greeks for the german onslaught though.
There’ll be no attack on the cr in z98, since it can be taken care of by the Luftwaffe and Italy can’t afford to dilute its forces.
Because of the uncertainties on the waters, I need to build a des for all eventualities since UK can still hit the remains with atleast 4 air.
-
Also, it was a good move to move the fleet to z123. Supporting it with 2 figs was also necessary, since it may be attacked by 3 sub, 2 sb. Although slightly out of place, it is safe there and will rejoin the heat in a couple of turns.
One alternative would’ve been to take out the 2 subs in z106, but it would probably mean no Taranto since preferably a des, cr, fig and sb should’ve taken it on.

Decided on attacking Alexandria after all. Few land units in the counter-attack decided the move. It’s slightly risky, but with the help of german air it should be safe even if losing 1 inf. Considering only 2 tac will be needed for Greece, so 3 fig, 1 tac are able to support the stack.
Anyway, only 2 hits in z97. Casualties?
-
Should be more clear about Greece. There’s also the german attack on z95. This means 1 tac, 2 sb will help with Greece, while 3 fig, 1 tac will attack z95, securing that atleast 4 air may land in Alexandria.

the fleet is dead anyway, so I would say to apply the best possible defense … first hit on the CV and then the DD

No wait I meant the opposite … DD and cruiser

The fleet is doomed but in the event of an Italian withdrawal I might not immediately lose the fighter. I didn’t explain myself well :)

It’s a wise choice.

Ok, for once the italians didn’t mess up.
No need to hit the cr since the Med-NO would not be activated anyway because of the fleet at Toulon. Perhaps Italy can achieve it next turn instead. Getting rid of the fleet in z97 was great news for Mussolini, who now heavily depends on the support from his dear friend in the north.

Damn … not even a shot … can I ask for Cunningham’s head?
Considering that there will probably be more need for Americans in the Mediterranean, I think I have to stall; I take advantage of the infantryman in NG … and increase the anzac aviation (perhaps to assign it in the future to a new American aircraft carrier …?) …
Opinions from the world? (if anyone still follows me …)
ps
I will send the French DD to sz76, he will always have time to go to India if needed … I think.
-
@avner I’m fine with the initial ANZAC move. Will need ftrs and Japan can’t invade for a profit.
The French DD is a good support unit so tagging along with the British fleet is good.
I’m surprised that you didn’t move the BB and DD away from India. It’s unlikely for J to send the aircraft to take out the fleet, but seems unnecessary to leave them open to attack since you put the Brit ftrs in Burma. The ftrs aren’t necessary for Burma. For J to attack Burma would put half of his airforce down. Net TUV would be near zero so that exchange is a major loss for the Japanese.
It appears that J is setting up for a J3 DOW, so probably none of the above matters this turn.

Careful, I think he tried to have Kesselring assassinated but he’d moved hotel… he might come after you too.
